Strathaven Duck Pond to Jackton

Strathaven, South Lanarkshire, Scotland

Easy

This ride takes in a popular local climb to the south of East Kilbride and Glasgow. It starts at a well known point 'The Duckpond' on the outskirts of Strathaven and loops round westward and up over Ardochrig from the south. Wind turbines from the Whitelee Wind Farm (the largest on-shore installation in the UK) can be seen on the horizon. The ride ends as we near the village of Jackton, one of the many local villages that have been swallowed up by the ever expanding East Kilbride town boundaries.
